About me

How I got here

My journey in design started with a childhood love for art. After my Multimedia studies, I began as a UI Designer in 2014, focusing heavily on visual craft and aesthetics

As my career progressed into UX Design, I realised design is more than just visuals. I shifted my focus to understanding human behaviour and crafting better user experiences

Today, as a Product Designer, I connect all the dots. I design by balancing three things: what the user needs, what the business wants to achieve, and what the technology can actually do

I keep adapting to new shifts in tech. I use AI tools to speed up my workflow, but the problem-solving and design decisions remain entirely mine

Sijo.
